How To Fix A Clogged Garbage Disposal

There are few things as disconcerting as plumbing problems. Things like a clogged garbage disposal or leaking drain can sometimes be hard for someone to fix on their own. These few tips can help all San Francisco residents narrow down the problem and determine the best plumbing contractor to call for help.

The first thing San Francisco residents should do when they are experiencing a clogged garbage disposal is to check the unit itself. Most disposal units have a reset button and a key slot to manually move the blades to free up obstructions in them.

Typically, the reset button is red and is located on the underside of the unit. Start by pressing it. With some units it might difficult to determine whether or not the unit has been reset, but when the unit is turned on after it is reset it will either start running or it may hum a bit. If it is humming, turn it off because there is something jammed in it.

If the unit is jammed then you will need either a ¼ inch Allen wrench or a garbage disposal key. The underside of the unit has a hole for the wrench in the [...]

New Ways To Do A Sewer Drain Replacement

I had been experiencing plumbing problems for years. I knew I needed to hire someone that had the tools and experience to do a sewer drain replacement for my home. My drains were draining slower and slower each month and even though I had them cleaned out last year, the plumber told me then that I needed to replace the whole line from the home to the street.

In the past when a homeowner needed a sewer drain replacement they would have to hire a plumbing professional who would dig up the yard and take out the old line. The whole thing would be a mess and any landscaping would be ruined in the process. Now, there are several professional plumbers in San Francisco that have the necessary equipment to perform a sewer drain replacement without ever having to dig up the yard.

The problem I had was that a large tree had grown into the sewer line and the roots had destroyed it. I had the do a complete sewer drain replacement, but I did not want to dig up my yard or go through the time it took to fix it without my plumbing working. Then I found [...]

I Called San Francisco Plumbers To My House Because I Had A Plumbing Emergency

My home is in the Haight district of the city and one afternoon I was getting a shower when I heard a loud bang. The water pressure dropped and I knew something was wrong, something that would require quick thinking and an emergency call to some San Francisco plumbers.

As it turned out the main waterline into my home burst and was quickly flooding my basement. I know some things about plumbing, so I quickly threw on some cloths and ran outside to turn my water main off.

In most cases it is fairly easy to turn off the water to a house. Simply look in your yard and locate the water main. Different places in the city have different locations for the main, but they are usually near the front of the property under a metal lid. Take the lid off and look down in the hole. To turn off the water at the main you will need an adjustable wrench. Sometimes there is an arrow showing the on and off position. Once I turned off the water, I checked the meter to make sure that the water was off. On most meters there is some type of gauge [...]

The main benefit to fixing your home’s main sewer line using the trenchless sewer replacement method is that the job can be done without completely digging up the yard or drive way. I had been putting off fixing my San Francisco home’s sewer line because I did not want to lose all of the landscaping, especially one tree, I had spent years taking care of.

My home is an older home in San Francisco area and I knew that I would have to fix the home’s sewer line at some point because the line was having problems years before I ever moved in. It was not until several years after I moved in that the problems started to get a lot worse.

I put off fixing the sewer line for a few reasons. One was that I did not want to destroy the yard, lose the tree and have to replace all the landscaping. The other was that I knew that aside from replacing all the landscaping, the standard method of replacing a sewer line was costly and could not afford it. I put it off as long as I could, until I heard about trenchless sewer replacement.
